Open and Endovascular Surgical Treatment for Artery Injuries

Traumatic injuries of peripheral arteries are often associated with multiple injuries, massive hemorrhage, state of shock, and loss of blood supply, as well as with high mortality. Traditionally, an open surgical approach is suggested for the management of artery injury. With the advancement of endovascular techniques, the traditional open vascular exposure and vessel repair are no longer the only option available. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, long-term safety and explore the safety and efficacy factors between open and endovascular surgical techniques.
